Dreams

13/11/14

Another pretty cool dream!

Was in Alton Towers with my family, but for some reason it was a big shopping centre instead of a theme park. However there were advertisements showing an almost suicidal cliff dive, including a warning of serious injury.

I don't remember much of the journey round, but I know that the shopping centre was loosely based on Cabot Circus in Bristol. After we'd finished shopping we made our way to the bus, a yellow Leyland Olympian with the registration G801 TBD (I know this because it's one of my school buses and I have a thing for remembering their registrations). I discovered that whatever I was wearing was really damn slippy, I accidentally slid down the wrong path, falling on my side and carrying on sliding like a dog in snow. At the bottom of the slope I felt really heavy but managed to lumber back to my family before they'd even noticed I was gone.

The bus was empty but open so, like we do at school, we just climbed straight on. My stepdad took the middle back seat on the top deck, mum went near the front, I sat directly behind the stairs like I always do and my little sister sat with me (she's been getting all the buses these past two days!). Looking back out towards the shopping centre I saw it was suddenly full of people - mainly people I knew. I strained my head to look for David but my little sister kept blocking my view, just for a laugh. Then the bus started moving, just crawling down the tiny street. There was barely anyone on still as we stopped again a little further down, next to YN55 YSJ. And guess who was about to board it? David!

Then the setting shifted slightly, although still trying to simulate buses. I'm sat in this room, it's quite big and full of bus seats but split in half by tinted air, like the tinted windows of YN55. My side I could see clearly, I wasn't alone but I don't know who I was with at this point. The seats were the same as the little bench seats in G801 TBD, whilst behind the tint were coach seats from YN55. The sun shone through, lighting the silhouettes of the people within "YN55" and I started searching helplessly for David. Then, a teacher showed up behind the tint, talking to a silhouette right in front of me. She was commenting on how she never saw the silhouette on his phone. The silhouette replied in a very deep voice saying he didn't actually own a phone. At that point, the tint vanished revealing David and my French teacher. Pitying David, my teacher gave him some sort of orange glow bracelet. As the tint was gone, they also acknowledged my presence, David giving me said bracelet as he didn't really want it anyway. The setting shifted back and we were back on G801 TBD. I was back in my stair seat with my sister and Davis was in the seat behind me. I was looking at how the bracelet worked; it had lots of LED lights inside an orange sleeve, all set on a metal framework.

For some reason the windows of the bus had been replaced with the bars of a cage, exactly like that of your average bird or hamster cage with random things hanging off. I remember trying to put the bracelet on and the metal stabbed me a bit.

Suddenly the windows returned to normal and it was just me and my family on G801 TBD, David was back on YN55 YSJ and it was dark outside.

We drove for a while before pulling up in front of some building. The whole year emerged from the two practically empty buses and started filing through the doorway and through corridors, making a right raucous as they did. I was swept a long with them, still slipping and sliding and trying to see David amongst the crowd. Then, I think I woke up.
